Cavtat Walking Path
  • 30m
We take a walk around the Rat Peninsula for several reasons: firstly, it is a wonderful promenade by the sea that is mostly in the shade, and it is here that you will be able to see most clearly the significance of seafaring for Cavtat as well as its centuries-old connection with Dubrovnik. Also, on the other side, there is the easiest access to the mausoleum, to which we will climb on a leisurely walk.
